history
In 1987, Moxa started out as a serial data transmission consultancy , bringing intelligent serial network cards to market. This was followed by PCI -Boards, serial device server and network - Switch - Server . Industrial Ethernet switches were produced for the first time in 2001 and are now part of one of Moxa's major lines of business. Managed Ethernet switches, serial-to- fiber optic converters and universal PCI boards followed in 2002, followed by PC / 104 cards in 2003. In 2003 the redundant network topology Turbo Ring ™ was also developed. Between 2004 and 2007, video servers, embedded computers, I / O servers, wireless access points , USB -to-serial adapters , radio modems , peer-to-peer I / O servers and Modbus gateways were launched on the market. The European branch was opened near Munich in 2006 . From 2008 the focus was placed on the transport and energy industries . For this purpose, PowerTrans IEC 61850-3 Ethernet switches and other certified products for use in transformer stations were manufactured in 2008 . Toughnet Ethernet switches and other products have also been developed for use in rail traffic applications. In 2009 Moxa came onto the market with what was then the world's smallest 10/100 Mbit / s serial embedded device server in the size of an RJ-45 connector. In 2011 Moxa introduced the first marine panel PC and received certification for marine use for its Industrial Ethernet switches. Since the company was founded, Moxa has grown by around 30% annually, and sales have doubled around every three years.
